Implementation of a Quality Integrity Management Plan (IMP)
Moving beyond compliance into proactive risk management
01
"Compliance to time-based regulations ... has proven ineffective at delivering desired levels of pipeline safety."
Establish a Performance-Based SLMS Framework
-
Adopt a Safety & Loss Management System (SLMS) focused on hazard-driven decision-making
-
Shift away from traditional, compliance-is-enough approaches
-
Focus on eliminating failures, not just reporting them
02
"TRIAGE considers all contributing factors, including those in the blind spot of traditional models."
PLAN – Classify Hazard Severity Using Advanced TRIAGE by AbaData Models
-
Apply TRIAGE's advanced hazard classification models for all key failure modes:
-
Internal Corrosion / External Corrosion / Non-Metallic Damage and Time-Based Deterioration / Geotechnical (e.g. Hill-Slope) Hazards / Failure Consequence
-
-
Rely on advanced data analytics applied onto 40+ years of Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) data to consider the extent that detrimental UWI behaviour may be a key contributing factor
03
"Hazard-optimized alignment of mitigation with actual over-life pipeline conditions is critical."
DO – Validate Data & Execute Risk-Optimized Programs
-
Use TRIAGE’s data validation form to review and confirm default inputs (e.g., fluid properties, COâ‚‚ levels, water transport conditions).
-
Ensure hazard-optimized deployment of:
-
Mitigation (e.g. batch inhibition, MEG slugging)
-
Monitoring (e.g. ILI, CP surveys)
-
Inspection schedules
-
04
"Mitigation must be validated with direct evidence—inspection data trumps assumption."
CHECK – Inspect & Monitor
-
Implement risk-based inspection strategies (e.g., 12/24/36 month intervals) aligned to hazard severity.
-
Monitor program effectiveness using tools like:
-
In-line inspection (ILI)
-
Direct examination
-
CP performance audits
-
Photogrammetric monitoring for slope movement
-
05
"TRIAGE enables rapid learning and iteration, with machine learning enhancements applied monthly."
ACT – Assess Performance & Adjust
-
Evaluate performance through ongoing feedback and post-mitigation inspection results.
-
Use monthly TRIAGE reports to:
-
Identify where mitigation isn’t working
-
Adjust hazard classifications
-
Modify risk management strategies and mitigation intensity accordingly
-
06
"The key to avoiding failures lies buried within decades of industrial data—TRIAGE brings that data to life."
Continuous Improvement - Integrate Lessons Learned Across Assets
-
Apply TRIAGE’s UWI Severity Index to highlight high-risk well-pipeline combinations
-
Use spatial failure data to improve asset-wide safety and operational efficiency
-
Share learnings across teams (e.g., integrity, field ops, chemical) using the TRIAGE risk reports
-
Automatically update hazard assessments with each validated data change
-
Engage the field team in active decision-making—SLMS is a culture, not just a checklist
